Battle Tower Team
 
Ok, I am going to start to train this team for Battle Tower (level 100) and I would like to know if it will work before i invest too much time into training these guys.

Vileplume @ Quick Claw
Nature: Relaxed

Toxic
Double Team
Sludge Bomb
Moonlight

My opener and annoyer. I know the Double Team/Toxic is really cheap but it's just in game so I really dont mind p*ssing off some pixels.

Gardevoir @ *Need Help with an item here* (probably Shell Bell)
Nature: Modest

Psychic
Calm Mind
Reflect
Thunder Bolt

Special Sweeper. Takes care of those ****ed Steel types (curse you Metagross) which kill my opener.

Torkoal @ Leftovers
Nature Modest
EV's:
100-HP
124-Defense
138-Sp. Atk
148-Sp. Def
(Didn't know about EV training until a while ago and my torkoal i just caught so thats why it has EV info and the others don't)

Rest
Iron Defense
Amnesia
Flamethrower (for STAB)

Tank, and a good one at that. This is where my team starts to fall apart, as you may have noticed there are no physical attacks (except for Sludge Bomb on Vileplume) so i might have troble with something like a Latios or anything with high Sp. Def.

Well there we go I hope you'll like this team and uhhhh yea, Rate It please.

Thanks in Advance

PS- yes i know im a newbie to this forum!

Alright *cracks fingers* let's get to work.

Vileplume @ Quick Claw
Nature: Relaxed

Toxic
Double Team
Sludge Bomb
Moonlight

Since you just want to use this for in-game, this can work decently enough, but there are far better openers you can be using. The amount of luck you are having to try and set this thing up with, though, is going to screw you over in the end. In Battle Tower, I wouldn't try to afford trying to outstall your opponent, because eventually they're just going to crit-hax you and this is gone without making too much of an impact. I'd try to find either a mixed sweeper or just a pure physical CB'd sweeper for this slot, such as Salamence, Metagross, Heracross, Dragonite, etc.

Gardevoir @ *Need Help with an item here* (probably Shell Bell)
Nature: Modest

Psychic
Calm Mind
Reflect
Thunder Bolt

This is a decent set up, and should serve you decently enough. Try to get Leftovers > Shell Bell, since that's consistent damage recovery, regardless of the damage you deal to your opponent.


Torkoal @ Leftovers
Nature Modest
EV's:
100-HP
124-Defense
138-Sp. Atk
148-Sp. Def
(Didn't know about EV training until a while ago and my torkoal i just caught so thats why it has EV info and the others don't)

Rest
Iron Defense
Amnesia
Flamethrower (for STAB)

No. Absolutely not. Only Magcargo is aworse fire-type for Battle Tower play, and while this thing can be cool as a Curser, setting up with Iron Defense/Amnesia means that Torkoal is going to get smoked by the first mixed sweeper that you don't set up a wall for, or it's going to get haxed by a critical hit.


The only solid member of this team for you is Gardevoir. Vileplume and Torkoal are only going to get in your way. I'd try to raise a Salamence, Metagross, or Heracross as your front sweeper, then follow up the group with something mixed to complement your Gardevoir, such as Swampert or the like.

Vileplume @ Quick Claw
Nature: Relaxed

Sleep Powder
Sunny Day
Solarbeam
Moonlight/Sludge Bomb

Some Sunnybeamer stuff. It can still outspeed a lot in the sun even with that -Speed Nature.

Sleep Powder
Sludge Bomb
Giga Drain/Razor Leaf
Swords Dance

Grass for STAB. A STAB's Sludge Bomb with SD is awesome!

My opener and annoyer. I know the Double Team/Toxic is really cheap but it's just in game so I really dont mind p*ssing off some pixels.

Gardevoir @ *Need Help with an item here* (probably Shell Bell)
Nature: Modest

Psychic
Calm Mind
Reflect/Fire Punch
Thunder Bolt

Good job on Gardevoir! Fire Punch if you really want to take on Steelies.

Special Sweeper. Takes care of those ****ed Steel types (curse you Metagross) which kill my opener.

Torkoal @ Leftovers
Nature Modest
EV's:
100-HP

Rest
Iron Defense
Amnesia
Flamethrower (for STAB)

The AmnesiaID combo is meh. Curse/Rock Slide/Fire Blast/Rest is my suggestion. Iron Tail if you can't get Rock Slide I guess.

Tank, and a good one at that. This is where my team starts to fall apart, as you may have noticed there are no physical attacks (except for Sludge Bomb on Vileplume) so i might have troble with something like a Latios or anything with high Sp. Def.
